Destinies Intertwined
Chapter One: An Introduction to Christina Cooper.
My name is Christina Cooper. Although people who know me well, do have a tendency to call me "CeCe". It's a nickname people have called me over the years, and I must admit that it has grown on me. I have ocean-like blue eyes and mousy brown loose ringlet hair, that falls to just below my shoulders. I'm twenty-six years old, and one of the youngest female pirates to ever sail the seas. Yes you heard right, I'm a pirate. I first became a pirate when I was sixteen, it's hard to believe I know, but at the time I really had no other choice. You see, growing up, I never really had a good childhood. I grew up in Tortuga, the small little town where drunks and whores were always around out on the streets. My father was extremely violent and would beat me and my mother whenever he got the chance. My mother, well she died by the hands of my father. He strangled her to death because he had believed she had cheated on him. He was always so paranoid. Plus, I was an only child and never really had any friends, due to the fact that my father didn't like me going out anywhere without him. Also the fact that there weren't really any other children my age that lived in Tortuga.
After my mother was killed by my father, he became much more violent and started beating me, up until the point that I'd loose conscious every night. I had also lost some of my weight, because the idea of eating made me feel sick, mostly because my father would call me a disgusting pig every time I tried to eat something. I had become a weak, emotionless, lost girl and all I wanted to do was escape from the nightmare I was living in. So, on my sixteenth birthday, I decided to run off. I had packed all of my belongings, which wasn't much and only consisted of one bag, and sneaked out while my father was asleep. While on my way to the docks, I had heard from a few people walking by that my house had been set on fire and that my father was still inside. Apparently, it was some guy who had a fight with him the night before, and he wanted revenge. I knew my father would have died in the fire, and I felt the tiniest bit of sadness for him, until it went away and I kept on going towards the docks. Why should I feel anything for him after everything he's put me through? Anyway, as I was saying… Once I reached the docks, I luckily found a ship and hid away on it, hoping that no one would find me and leave me here in Tortuga. After all, I had nowhere to go now, I was homeless. Unfortunately for me though, I was found by the Captain, which to my surprise was a woman. I begged her to let me stay, and that I was willing to do anything that was needed, and as she was looking for more crew to join, she had allowed me to stay. After some time, and a lot of hard work, I eventually joined her crew and had become friends with all the rest of the female crew members on board. Over that time, I had joined in with her crew with raids, finding treasure, running into other Captains and becoming enemies with them, and I had also mastered how to use a sword and pistol.
A year later, I was officially marked as a pirate. The Captain had said that she thought I had made a lasting impression and was definitely pirate material. So I then had to get the 'P' branded into my right arm. I'll never forget how much your skin can hurt when it gets burned from a hot metal rod. I was glad it happened though, I was glad to be a pirate. It was a little after that, that I decided that I wanted to become a Captain myself and own my very own pirate ship. This was my story…
Author's Note: Ok, so this is Chapter one of my new PoTC story. I decided to write a new one because I didn't have enough muse to carry on with my first one, although I might do one day.
Anyway, this story is based on all three films, but I've just added my own character and her story into it and involved it in with the films. So, please don't say anything like "this has nothing to do with PoTC", because it has.
I also know that Jack Sparrow or any of the other characters haven't been mentioned yet, but they will be. Just be patient. Like I said, I'm involving all three films, so it will be a long story once I've finished it, and as I've only just started it I've only got a few chapters so far. But bare with me, as I'll try to get more chapters done asap for all of you to read and enjoy. Well hopefully anyways.. lol.
So yeah, I hope you like it and feel free to leave a review, add it to your favs and add me to your favs. You don't have to, but I'd love to know what everyone thinks and I would like people to like this story because I'm trying really hard to make it good for all of you. Ok, I've done rambling on now, bye! x
